You must not paginate your article submitted in the Word format. www.languageinindia.com will paginate it.

If your article involves a lot of diacritic marks and is a complex presentation that is difficult to reproduce, you may like to submit your article in PDF format. While doing so, please do not paginate it.

The title page will be somewhat like this in pdf. Title of the paper in bold, Times New Roman in 16 point, immediately followed by the name/s of the author/s, with each author's name followed by their educational qualification such as Ph.D., M.Phil., or M.A., etc., in 14 point, and then after one line space, a line in bold.

Give complete details of your address, with postal number (pin or zip code).

Please tell all your friends, colleagues, supervisors, and relatives that your article is published in Language in India www.languageinindia.com so that they will log in and see it. You do not become known easily unless your work is publicized first in your circles of friends and relatives!

Encourage your co-workers also to write articles for Language in India www.languageinindia.com.

If you can support this publication by donations, you are most welcome to do so, and we will receive the gifts with gratitude and appreciation. Remember, it does cost a lot of money and time, even to perform good works! Thirumalai has been publishing the journal all these years with very little support! However, donations will not influence the decision to accept or not accept any submission for publication in www.languageinindia.com.

Language in India www.languageinindia.com charges a formatting fee of Indian rupees 500 for every article accepted for publication and is actually published. This formatting fee meets only partially the costs of formatting, uploading, maintaining the article in the Internet and for doing repairs when necessary. The decision to publish or not publish depends solely on the merit and relevance of the article accepted.

Every university-approved Ph.D. dissertation is charged Indian Rupees 2200 and M.Phil. Dissertation is charged Indian Rupees 1600 only. Masters dissertations are charged Indian rupees 1300 only. University-approved dissertations are not normally reviewed as these have already been approved after review by examiners by the universities. However, minor adjustments may be suggested for easy readability.

Every monograph accepted for publication in Language in India www.languageinindia.com will be charged Indian rupees 4000 only. Proceedings of the Seminars and Conferences will also be considered as monographs. Services offered include editorial help, formatting and academic suggestions. High Quality and relevance of research and appropriate research methodology, total avoidance of plagiarism are some of our major concerns.

Remember that Language in India www.languageinindia.com is interested in publishing articles that bring out the application of concepts and principles to Indian languages including English language teaching and writing in India and other South Asian nations. We also welcome papers on other languages from other nations as well, following the age-old Indian tradition of welcoming knowledge from everywhere and to serve all. If you've used any one particular concept, idea, or theory, etc., please write about your experience in using these concepts, ideas, or theories, etc., and bring out how you, your co-workers, and your students have either benefited or not. Also include how you modified and/or used these concepts in your classrooms, etc. If what I say is difficult to follow, please see some of the recent articles in Language in India www.languageinindia.com that apply concepts to Indian and South Asian contexts, etc. We are not interested in publishing a mere compendium of ideas from various sources. We are interested in publishing articles on all aspects of language structure and use.

Language in India www.languageinindia.com is an inter-disciplinary online monthly journal. So, we also seek to publish materials on all aspects of society and culture and related issues from around the world.

Kindly note that once the article or dissertation etc. is published in Language in India www.languageinindia.com, any publication of the same material in outside source in print or in electronic format can be done only with the permission of Language in India www.languageinindia.com. Any royalty that will accrue from the publication of materials already published in Language in India www.languageinindia.com through other sources both in print and electronic format will have to be shared between the authors in a range that is favorable to the authors (75% for the authors and 25% to Language in India www.languageinindia.com ), since Language in India www.languageinindia.com does meet the major part of the cost of the initial publication of such materials.

No new materials can be added once the article is published. Please ensure that when submitting your work names of all authors are included. No addition of authors after publication is allowed. Please avoid including Bibliography. Instead please include only a List of References of all works cited within the text, including Internet sources. We generally follow the style sheets of APA, MLA, Indian Linguistics, IJDL and Language. But you need to restrict yourself to one style within your article. Standardization has become very difficult because Indian universities are still in the process of evolving a common style for their research publications. Readability and easy cross reference for future research should guide our authors in choosing an appropriate style in a consistent manner.
